The Urban Transitions Mission Centre -TAP Marketplace that took place today on the sides of #ICLEIWorldCongress in São Paulo, Brazil, was a first-class opportunity for #UrbanTransitionsMission (UTM) cities to connect with international financiers and project preparation facility providers to foster urban climate finance. During the marketplace, 3 UTM cities had to the chance to pitch their project ideas to a jury composed of financial experts: ➡️Puerto Montt, Chile, pitched their “sustainable mobility corridor” ➡️Rosario, Argentina, shared more on their #wastetreatment plant, and ➡️Belo Horizonte, Brazil, presented their project to restore local landfill developing new renewable energy. 🗣️ Giorgia Rambelli, Director of the Urban Transitions Mission, emphasized that UTM cities work across a wide variety of sectors, with financing for adaptation & mitigation being among the top cross-cutting priorities, and events such as the UTMC-TAP marketplace help bridge this gap. Thanks for contributing to the fruitful exchanges on collaborative solutions for sustainable urban development! 👏
